Question:
By what number should we multiply -8/13 so that the product may be 24?
Solution:
Let us assume the other number be y.
Given, product of two rational number = 24
One number = -8/13
Then,
= y × (-8/13) = 24
= y = 24/ (-8/13)
= y = (24/1) × (-13/8)
= y = (3/1) × (-13/1)
= y = -39
So, the other number is -39
